Nurse Practitioner Health Services, LLC

According to a State Department of Health Services survey in 2012, about 7.3 percent of Wisconsinites did not have insurance coverage — approximately 400,000 people. A 2013 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation put the number of uninsured in the state at 9 percent of the population. Both are the most recent estimates.

To address raising health care costs for patients and employers, direct care clinics like NPHS — Nurse Practitioner Health Services LLC (NPHS) — are on the rise. NPHS’s mission is to provide convenient and affordable health care to folks with no insurance, high deductibles or those seeking convenience.

Rachael Cabral Guevara created NPHS after seeing many patients struggling with transportation, companies struggling with increasing health care costs, and yearly high deductibles patients never met. Rachael is a Family Nurse Practitioner with focus on preventive health care and managing acute and chronic disease. Rachael has worked in retail clinics, family practice offices, employer clinics and community health centers. She opened NPHS in November 2014 providing appointments within a flexible setting: work, school and homes. In July 2015, NPHS opened a clinic to meet increasing employer needs and still continues the flexible setting appointments for convenience.
